Project description:Arabidopsis has two genes, Arabidillo-1 and -2, related to animal Armadillo/ beta-catenin (Coates, 2003). Armadillo/beta-catenin directly activates the expression of developmental and cell proliferation genes, and also independently regulates cell-cell adhesion. Arabidillo proteins are nuclear and promote lateral root development. We aim to identify candidate Arabidillo target genes by comparing the transcriptomes of wild type, arabidillo-1/2 mutant and Arabidillo-1 overexpressing lines. The experiment will compare Col-0 (3 slides) with a 35S::Arabidillo-1-YFP overexpressing line (3 slides) and Col-3 with the arabidillo-1/2 mutant (3 slides). Each RNA prep will be from plate-grown 7-day old seedlings. Reference: Coates, JC (2003) Armadillo repeat proteins: beyond the animal kingdom?

Project description:Beta-catenin is an essential mediator of canonical Wnt signaling and a central component of the cadherin-catenin epithelial adhesion complex. Dysregulation of beta-catenin expression has been described in pancreatic neoplasia. Newly published studies have suggested that beta-catenin is critical for normal pancreatic development although these reports reached somewhat different conclusions. In addition, the molecular mechanisms by which loss of beta-catenin affects pancreas development are not well understood. The goals of this study then were; 1] to further investigate the role of beta-catenin in pancreatic development using a conditional knockout approach and 2] to identify possible mechanisms by which loss of beta-catenin disrupts pancreatic development. A Pdx1-cre mouse line was used to delete a floxed beta-catenin allele specifically in the developing pancreas, and embryonic pancreata were studied by immunohistochemistry and microarray analysis. Experiment Overall Design: Parameter: embryonic pancreas from wild type and Pdx1Cre/+; beta-cateninflox/flox Experiment Overall Design: Sample type: RNA Experiment Overall Design: Source name: Embryonic day 14.6 and 16.5 pancreas Experiment Overall Design: Organism: Mus Musculus Experiment Overall Design: Strain: Derived from an intercross of Pdx1Cre/+ ; beta-cateninflox/+ mice. Experiment Overall Design: Extracted molecule:Total RNA Experiment Overall Design: In the study, we hybridized RNA from Embryonic day 14.6 and 16.5 pancreas of wild type (WT) control and Pdx1Cre/+; beta-cateninflox/flox beta-catenin null in the pancreas) embryonic pancreas to Affymetrix MOE430 2.0 GeneChip® arrays containing 45,101 well characterized mouse genes/ESTs.

Project description:We generated a murine genetic model of beta-catenin deficiency targeted to the ureteric bud cell lineage to study the role of beta-catenin mediated Wnt signaling during ureteric morphogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: A comparison was made between triplicate samples of E12.5 kidneys from either normal mice or mice with a b-catenin allele containing LoxP sites flanking exons 2 through 6 crossed to Hoxb7-Cre:Gfp mice

Project description:Gain-of-function mutations in exon 3 of beta-catenin (CTNNB1) are specific for Wilms' tumors that have lost WT1, but 50% of WT1-mutant cases lack such "hot spot" mutations. To ask whether stabilization of beta-catenin might be essential after WT1 loss, and to identify downstream target genes, we compared expression profiles in WT1-mutant versus WT1 wild-type Wilms' tumors. Supervised and nonsupervised hierarchical clustering of the expression data separated these two classes of Wilms' tumor. The WT1-mutant tumors overexpressed genes encoding myogenic and other transcription factors (MOX2, LBX1, SIM2), signaling molecules (TGFB2, FST, BMP2A), extracellular Wnt inhibitors (WIF1, SFRP4), and known beta-catenin/TCF targets (FST, CSPG2, CMYC). Beta-Catenin/TCF target genes were overexpressed in the WT1-mutant tumors even in the absence of CTNNB1 exon 3 mutations, and complete sequencing revealed gain-of-function mutations elsewhere in the CTNNB1 gene in some of these tumors, increasing the overall mutation frequency to 75%. Lastly, we identified and validated a novel direct beta-catenin target gene, GAD1, among the WT1-mutant signature genes. These data highlight two molecular classes of Wilms' tumor, and indicate strong selection for stabilization of beta-catenin in the WT1-mutant class. Beta-Catenin stabilization can initiate tumorigenesis in other systems, and this mechanism is likely critical in tumor formation after loss of WT1. Experiment Overall Design: Identification of WNT/Beta-Catenin or WT1 target genes. 39 individual samples.

Project description:The Wnt signaling pathway is deregulated in over 90% of human colorectal cancers. β Catenin, the central signal transducer of the Wnt pathway, can directly modulate gene expression by interacting with transcription factors of the TCF/LEF-family. In the present study we investigate the role of Wnt signaling in the homeostasis of intestinal epithelium using tissue-specific, inducible beta-catenin gene ablation in adult mice. Block of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling resulted in rapid loss of transient-amplifying cells and crypt structures. Importantly, intestinal stem cells were induced to terminally differentiate upon deletion of beta-catenin resulting in a complete block of intestinal homeostasis and fatal loss of intestinal function. Transcriptional profiling of mutant crypt mRNA isolated by laser capture micro dissection confirmed those observations and allowed to identify genes potentially responsible for the functional preservation of intestinal stem cells. Experiment Overall Design: laser capture microdissection of intestinal crypts, control vs. beta-catenin mutant (2days after induction of deletion by tamoxifen), two rounds of amplification of mRNA

Project description:The hallmark of canonical Wnt signaling is the transcriptional induction of Wnt target genes by the beta-catenin/TCF complex. Several studies have proposed alternative interaction partners for beta-catenin or TCF, but the relevance of potential bifurcations in the distal Wnt pathway remains unclear. Here we study on a genome-wide scale the requirement for Armadillo (Arm, homolog of beta-catenin) and Pangolin (Pan, Drosophila’s TCF) in the Wnt/Wingless (Wg)-induced transcriptional response of Drosophila Kc cells. Using somatic genetics, we demonstrate that both Arm and Pan are absolutely required for mediating activation and repression of target genes. Furthermore, by means of STARR-sequencing we identified Wnt/Wg-responsive enhancer elements and found that all responsive enhancers depend on Pan. Together, our results confirm the dogma of canonical Wnt/Wg signaling and argue against the existence of distal pathway branches in this system.

Project description:β-catenin signaling is required for hair follicle development, but it is unknown whether it is sufficient to activate expression of hair follicle genes in embryonic skin. To address this we profiled gene expression in dermis from E15.5 KRT14-Cre Ctnnb1(Ex3)fl/+ embryos carrying an activating mutation in epithelial beta-catenin, and control littermate embryos. Experiment Overall Design: Total dermal RNA from two KRT14-Cre Ctnnb1(Ex3)fl/+ and two control littermate E15.5 embryos was hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome MOE430 2.0 oligonucleotide microarrays. Experiment Overall Design: Appended below is Table S2: Full list of differentially expressed genes in KRT14-Cre Ctnnb1(Ex3)fl/+ mutant compared with control littermate dermis at E15.5, including normalization and filter parameters. Fold change, listed in the second column, gives the ratio of normalized mutant : control transcript levels.
